Question
does cedar mulch harm lily bulbs

Answer
Hello Margaret,

I personally use pine bark mulch because I find it pretty, but cedar mulch is quite beneficial. It tends to resist rotting and repel pests, so it should be an excellent mulch for your lilies. There is some debate about weather all wood mulches swipe nitrogen from the soil, so you might want to put a little compost under your mulch to offset it. But cedar is as good as any wood mulch, and probably better than most.

Does this make sense?  Please feel free to write again.
